Asked by Adrian
The body electric management system on my 2003 BA Ford Fairmont V8 has failed three times in 12 months, resulting in me not being able to lock the car or turn the interior lights off. The replacement cost is $300-plus each time. What are your thoughts?
Answered by CarsGuide
13 Jul 2012Those old Fords are renowned for failing body ECUs, but there would have to be an underlying problem to cause three failures in quick succession like that, so I would call in an auto electrician to sort it out.
